Expo Icrontic 2016

Icrontic

<P>Our 13th annual celebration of gaming and friendship in Detroit! Bring your friends and introduce them to why we save up vacation days every year. The venue is our 1899 Queen Anne home near the heart of the city in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. Tour the city, enjoy amazing food, and buckle in for more than three days of wall-to-wall fun.</P>
<H2>Costs</H2>
<P>This event is non-profit and heavily subsidized by your hosts. All proceeds go to event costs and keeping Icrontic.com online the rest of the year. <STRONG>We suggest a donation of $90</STRONG>. Please consider chipping in extra if you can to help cover the cost for those with less financial resources. The minimum for covering your own direct costs (required tshirt & badge) is $30.<BR></P>
<P>Some events have additional costs (marked below). <STRONG>Icrontic communism is in effect: up to $20 off any/all events for anyone who needs it. </STRONG>Please bring cash or PayPal accounts@short-media.com separately. Do NOT include these costs in your ticket donation.</P>
<H2>Schedule<BR></H2>
<P>For 2016, we've modified the schedule slightly to allow for more general social time, easier hosting duties, and greater participation. All events are at uniform times for easy memorization. But, we're also adding a few meta-events that will run the entire length of Expo! This is a tentative schedule subject to change, so <STRONG>please check back during the event.</STRONG><BR></P>

<P>Some Icrontic members recommend <A TITLE="Courtyard by Marriott in Dearborn" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://fave.co/1jJ0jYw" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Courtyard by Marriott</A> in Dearborn, which is about a 20 minute drive from ICHQ. There are also a wide variety of hotels close to ICHQ but hotels in the downtown Detroit area are pricey. If convenience trumps cost, please consider <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://trumbullandporterhotel.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Trumbull & Porter</A>, <A TITLE="Doubletree Detroit" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/michigan/doubletree-suites-by-hilton-hotel-detroit-downtown-fort-shelby-DTTLFDT/index.html" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Doubletree</A>, <A TITLE="Marriott downtown Detroit" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://fave.co/MBYSQH" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Marriot Downtown Detroit</A>, or <A TITLE="Holiday Inn Detroit" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://fave.co/1jJ1maQ" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Holiday Inn downtown</A>. Anyone may stay in our spacious attic as well (limited cots & futons available or BYO air mattress as space allows). Also consider AirBnB options as many Icrontians have found great success in the neighborhood. The neighborhood here is Woodbridge, but Corktown and Midtown are also both very close.<BR></P>
